will that make my roadster a collectible???

Maybe....

Junk yard collectable for spare parts if they stop the Zs production. But seriously what would they replace the Z with? Thats alot of history to throw away.

Is a 96 300 a classic?

No not at all! Any thing less from you and we would all go into shock!
Memories pressed between the papers of Zig Zag!
Bogart:gtfo2:

come to el paso and you can get some real easy and cheap here. Just dont across the border, have to dodge bullits right now.

This is precisely why I got so into the Project Mothra build, and why I got my Roadster in the first place. The car business is changing. The Z is a dying breed. We should enjoy these things while we can. Cue "Red Barchetta" by Rush...

From the Project Mothra site:

There will be a day

when the growl of a finely tuned exhaust note isn't heard on American roads anymore. When cars become appliances. When getting from A to B is more important than hearing an engine scream. Or tires straining against physics to hold a line. Or wind being sliced and recoiling in protest.

That day is not today.

Mothra may be our last stand; the last hope for anyone who remembers what it's like to drive for the shear thrill of it. She will be a screaming adversary to the ordinary, relentlessly defending our right to carve up a little asphalt in the name of horsepower, handling and having fun.
Strap in, America

Your roads and tracks are about to become battlegrounds.

One thing that's bad about the japanese sports car market in america. They like to tease us with great, but not there perfect examples of there autos. Let's keep it real. Japan never gives us the best versions of there sports cars. And when they do. They give us a heavier not as great version. they are as fickle with us as we are with them. They might do a 240sx? If its the same plan they were working on in 07-08. It won't do as well as other competitors coming out. A mazda rx7, toyota ft-86(along eith subie version) and mitsubishi is working on another awd 290hp eclipse that might possibly come out for 2012.(still not much word on that car. Its on the hush)
The Z has not been the kind of car to be in the middle of a line up of similar cars. When they pulled in the 90's. The 3000gt, eclipse awd, supra, rx7, and corvette were all in the game. Nissan jumped out and cancelled there cars. I'm not saying they can't compete with those cars cuz they can. But it seems like, when the Z is in a very competitive american market. Nissan pulls out.
Are the japanese are still angry over WW2? Or is it renault(france) is still mad about freedom fries??? Lol.
Either way... let by gones be by gones and stay in the game. 400z baby.

in 2016 yes

Great Read, thanks for posting

I don't understand this post. The 240Z was created especially for the American market, and most Nissan design is done in the USA. The USA is by far the largest market for cars. And heavier cars in the USA have always been due to mandated safety equipment. The WW2 comment and the "freedom fries" comment (is there anything more pathetic than the idiots who coined "freedom fries"?) are uncalled-for. And the RX-7, 3000GT and Supra were all pulled for the same reason the 300ZX was pulled. They couldn't sell any of them.

Leave Ghost alone, he green-lighted the 350Z in the first place, and he knows his marketing. We'd all be driving Mustangs and used Caymans if not for Ghost.

Mustang OR Cayman...S... CAYMAN S PLZ amazing car!!! <3

Btw nice new av

If they kill it, I'll be happy to say I owned a 370... And go back to driving Mustangs

Plan to keep my 370Z, so HOORAY ME if they do kill it; there will be that many less on the road; and you must admit, the what a great car to go out on!

That said, bring on the 240!! Or new RX7... that is what I would eye for my next toy...
